Fun DIY Skirt!

I'll begin by saying that I suck at sewing. I don't do it often and when I do, I generally do a rushed job of hand sewing. Sewing machines are just.. complicated. Too complicated for me anyway. Recently, however, my mom decided to begin teaching me how to use one of those complicated machines. I didn't do any of the sewing this time around, but I did watch as she showed me what to do, told me about the different parts of the machine, and about different stitch patterns. She said that making a skirt is an easy way to begin learning to sew so that's what we did with the shirt featured above. She simply cut the top off of the shirt, hemmed the top edge of what would eventually be the skirt on the right, leaving an opening, and then worked elastic all the way through! It's cute and comfy! And, it was relatively easy to make! And no worries about hemming the bottom edge because it was already hemmed for us! :p

A 50 Cent Dress!

I love yard sales! On way to store this morning and see one! Got a few things, more post to come! My new favorite dress is this Croft & Barrow one that was 50 cents! Yay! The shoes I had bought for $1.00 a couple of years ago.

Trying to look good when it is hotter than hot!

Super hot! Over 100 heat index. I still want to look good. Got this top that is very thin cotton, yoga skirt that is also thin cotton! Cute sandals and vegan purse! All set!

A Bit Dressed Up ~

I have an eye dr appointment today and want to dress up a bit. Which to me is wearing a button up shirt. I really like to be comfortable and the crop jeans have some stretch to them and so does the top. The top was $1.00 at my favorite thrift store and the cropped jeans were from Ebay for about $6.00. So far , I have spent very little on my Spring / Summer wardrobe. I have been pretty lucky at finding what I want for very little money. I love saving money and being frugal is fun.

I have had this purse for a couple of years now. I love it. It is my favorite purse of all time. Perfect size and look. I paid $3.00 for it at a local thrift store. I have gotten my money's worth out of it.

Another Thrift Store Treasure!

I will be so sad when my favorite thrift stores stops having their clothes on sale for $1.00! She said she will keep it like that as long as she can. I have found somd of the nicest things there. Like this cute dress! Perfect length and color.
